That must have been just about the time you were starting for Churchill, for on the third day up I met a sledge that turned me off the Lac Bain trail to take up the nearer trail to Chippewayan.

With this sledge were the two who had been at Lac Bain, Colonel Becker and his daughter." For a moment Philip could not speak.

He caught the other's hand excitedly.
"You--you found where they were going ?" he asked, when McGill did not continue.
"Yes.

We ate dinner together, and the colonel said they were bound for Nelson House, and that they would probably go from there to Winnipeg.

I didn't ask which way they would go." "From Nelson House it would be by the Saskatchewan and Le Pas trail," cried Philip.
